Meet Evelina Alvarado

Evelina is a psychologist with a Master's degree in Applied Health Psychology. She's worked across 6 countries and 4 continents, which has shaped how she understands people, relationships, and organizations. This global experience taught her that mental health and wellness look different depending on where you are and who you are, and that matters.

She founded Intermission Health because she got tired of therapy and coaching that felt surface-level, overly theoretical, or full of corporate jargon. Her approach is straightforward and results-driven. You won't get endless reflective sharing or lectures from Evelina. Instead, you'll get someone who feels more like a real person, who asks tough questions, tells you what she actually thinks, and focuses on what actually works for you.

Whether she's working with individuals, couples, or designing wellness programs for organizations, her goal is the same: help you cut through the noise, get clarity, and make real change. No fluff, no sugar-coating. Just honest, practical support.

Applied Health Psychology

Applied health psychology uses psychological principles and evidence-based interventions to promote well-being, prevent illness, and address health challenges. It recognizes that our psychology, social environment, and biology all influence our health outcomes, and that real change happens when we address all three.

At Intermission Health, applied health psychology is how we work. We help individuals, couples, and organizations navigate challenges by building self-awareness, developing practical strategies, and cultivating resilience. Whether through therapy, coaching, or corporate wellness programs, we focus on what actually improves your life: better relationships, less stress, more clarity, genuine growth. It's psychology that works.
